>**Windows 10 version upgrade**: You can directly upgrade a supported version of Windows 10 to a newer version of Windows 10, even if it involves skipping versions. Work with your account representative if your current version of Windows is out of support. See the [Windows lifecycle fact sheet](https://support.microsoft.com/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet) for availability and service information.
